Orson Scott Card had a pretty good commentary on the current “end” of Star Trek.
His basic position is that it should have gotten better with subsequent versions of the show, but ended up getting stuck int he 60’s television mindset of keeping it dumbed down and not making it “good” science fiction. I can’t say I disagree with him as it certainly has not improved with each spinoff.
Here’s my favorite line from the article:
Nimoy was the only charismatic actor in the cast and, ironically, he played the only character not allowed to register emotion.
Interesting. I’d never have considered “Lost” to be science fiction.
Enh. It still proves the hypothesis “Card == wanker”. No argument there are weak elements of TOS and TNG, and outright crap in parts of DSN, most of Voyager, and nearly all of Enterprise, but he slams them all too broadly. Besides, he entirely overlooks Babylon 5.
